Lend a Hand

The Lend a Hand Foundation is a charitable trust

set up jointly by the three West Coast Rotary Clubs

and TrustPower to support local individuals,

groups and small organisations (with a charitable

purpose) working to support West Coasters or to carry

out a public service. We meet quarterly but will also

consider urgent applications on a case by case basis.

Bookarama

In July of every year, Greymouth Rotary asks the

Community to donate books to Rotary for sorting

and selling at the Bookarama Book fair.

New World Supermarkets and Coastwide Honda Car

dealers act as collection points and the bookarama

book fair is held in the car show rooms at Coastwide Honda.

Over two and a half days, thousands of books are sold

and raises up to $14,000 which is then directly put back

into local community projects. $5,000 of this goes into

the Lend a Hand foundation which directly supports

local charitable organisations, individuals (including

families and children) in projects that meet the

foundation's criteria

Batteries for Brains

Batteries for Brains is a fund raising project for the

Rotary Club of Greymouth supporting the youth of our area.

We are collecting old car and truck batteries and turning

them into opportunities for our local youth. The funds raised

will be used to send our youth on programmes that will help

them realise their full potential.

Help us help our future leaders by donating your old batteries

to this ongoing programme. Batteries can be dropped off

at R B Devlin Auto Electrical 22 Leonard St or

PB Davy Auto Electrical Ltd 75 Gresson St
